Left elbow is bothering me, so I high bar squatted with straps today. It's like a poor man's safety squat bar.

Didn't use straps for 500 lb x 2 though. Too scared the bar might slip off my traps.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
